(b) 720

(c) 3600

(d) None of these

Answer Key with explanation

1) (a) 504

9P3 = 9!/6!

Because, nPr

= (9 ×8 ×7 ×6!)/6!

= 9 × 8 × 7 = 504

2) (b) 8

nP5 = 20 nP3

(n – 3)(n – 4) = 20

n = 8 (n = -1 is inadmissible)

3) (a) 216

4

4

3

2

= 4 × 4 × 3 × 2 = 96

Thousands place cannot assume 3 since required numbers are greater than 5000.

5

4

3

2

1

= 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120

Total required numbers = 96 + 120 = 216.

4) (b) 1680

8

7

6

5

= 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 = 1680

3 and 5 have been already used, so we have 8 digits for thousands place, then 7 digits for hundreds place, 6 digits for tens digit and remaining 5 digits for unit place.

5) (c) 120

A number is divisible by 5 only if its unit digit is either 5 or 0. So we fix 5 as unit digit and then we fill up the remaining places.

5

4

3

2

1

= 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120

Hence, required number is 120.

6) (a) 111

Case 1

3

3

1

= 3 × 3 × 1 = 9

When 2 is fixed at unit place, we have 3, 4 and 5 i.e., 3 digits for hundreds place and remaining 3 digits (out of 5) for the tens place.

2

3

1

= 2 × 3 × 1 = 6

When 4 is fixed at unit place, we have 3 and 5 i.e., only two digits for hundreds place and remaining 3 digits for tens place.

Case 2

4

3

2

2

= 48

Case 3

4

3

2

1

2

= 48

5 digit numbers = 48

Thus there are total 15 + 48 + 48 = 111 even numbers greater than 300.

7) (a) 5040

There are 7 letters in the word RAINBOW and each letter is used only once. So all the 7 letters can be arranged in 7! Ways.

7! = 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 5040

8) (a) 720

If we fix R as initial letter, then we have to arrange only 6 remaining letters.

Hence required number of permutations = 6!

= 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720

9) (a) 120

If we fix R and W as the first and last letters then we have to arrange only 5 remaining letters which can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.

10) (c) 3600

Explanation:

Number of permutations when I and O are together

= 2! × 6! = 1440

Total number of permutations = 7! = 5040

Therefore, number of permutations when I and O are not together

= 5040 – 1440 = 3600
